After so many years tryin' to set it freeThe pain seems to fade but it never leavesThe memories haunt me and I wish they'd let me beI gambled on love and it tore me apartBe still, be still, be still, my broken heartBe still my heart!

I wasn't born wise but I learned this muchThough you took all I gave it was never enoughThere was a time I'd have died for your soul, your strength, your touchBut I'll leave it behind, try to make a new startBe still, be still, be still, my broken heartLet the pain fade away

It was the heat of the moment in the heart of a dreamYou lit fire to my soul and you said you'd never leaveIt's tearin' me up, baby, where have you been?Oh, please, oh please, oh please! please just understand meAnd what this nonsense means. oh, yeah!

I gave up my dreams to let you insideBoy, you sure took my momma;s little boy for a rideI'll never know how I coulda ben so blind

Well, I gambled on love and it tore me apartOh! be still, be still, be still, my broken heartBe still, be still, be still, my broken heartBe still my heart! my broken heartLet the pain fade away!Just a small town floozy a 'name' a backwater lucy,Drivin' me down and down and down and down (be still my heart) oh yeah!!That's what I get for bein' lazy, woman's drivin' me crazy

Drivin' me down and down and down and down and down (be still my heart)
